I’ve Got Peace Like A River

Verse 1 I've got peace like a river I've got peace like a river

I've got peace like a river in my soul I've got peace like a river I've got peace like a river

I've got peace like a river in my soul

Verse 2 I've got joy like a fountain I've got joy like a fountain

I've got joy like a fountain in my soul I've got joy like a fountain I've got joy like a fountain

I've got joy like a fountain in my soul

Verse 3 I've got love like an ocean I've got love like an ocean

I've got love like an ocean in my soul I've got love like an ocean I've got love like an ocean

I've got love like an ocean in my soul

Verse 4 I’ve got peace like a river I’ve got joy like a fountain

I’ve got love like an ocean in my soul I’ve got peace like a river I’ve got joy like a fountain

I’ve got love like an ocean in my soul

Cornerstone

Verse 1 My hope is built on nothing less

Than Jesus' blood and righteousness I dare not trust the sweetest frame

But wholly trust in Jesus' Name (REPEAT)

Chorus Christ alone cornerstone

Weak made strong in the Saviour's love Through the storm He is Lord

Lord of all

Verse 2

When darkness seems to hide His face I rest on His unchanging grace In every high and stormy gale My anchor holds within the veil My anchor holds within the veil

Chorus

Christ alone cornerstone Weak made strong in the Saviour's love

Through the storm He is Lord Lord of all

Verse 3

When He shall come with trumpet sound Oh may I then in Him be found

Dressed in His righteousness alone Faultless stand before the throne

Confession and Forgiveness

Pastor: Jesus calls us to deny ourselves. Congregation: Yet we trust in our own works rather than in God’s grace.

P: Jesus calls each of us to take up our cross. C: Yet rather than allow our selfishness and sin to be put to death,

we cling to what we know. P: Jesus calls us to follow him.

C: Yet we fear where faith will lead and what it might change in our lives. P: In this moment of silence, we confess the sin that separates us from one another

and from God.

-Silence for reflection-

P: People of God, hear this good news. God’s covenant with us is true. God is faithful even when we fail. Through the Holy Spirit, God gives us the gift of faith and makes us

righteous. P: Believe in the good news that you are set free to live as children of God.

C: Amen. Thanks be to God!

My Hope Is Built On Nothing Less

Verse 1 My hope is built on nothing less

Than Jesus' blood and righteousness; No merit of my own I claim,

But wholly lean on Jesus' name

Chorus On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand; All other ground is sinking sand.

Verse 2

When darkness veils his lovely face, I rest on His unchanging grace; In ev’ry high and stormy gale

My anchor holds within the veil. (Chorus)

Verse 3 His oath, His covenant, His blood Sustain me in the raging flood;

When all supports are washed away, He then is all my hope and stay. (Chorus)

Apostles’ Creed

I believe in God, the Father Almighty, Creator of Heaven and earth. I believe in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord. He was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified,

died, and was buried. He descended into Hell. On the third day He rose again. He ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again

to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life

everlasting. Amen.

The Lord’s Prayer Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our

trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the

glory, forever and ever. Amen.

I Know That My Redeemer Lives

Verse 1 I know that my Redeemer lives

What comfort this sweet sentence gives He lives He lives who once was dead

He lives my ever-living Head

Verse 2 He lives and grants me daily breath He lives and I shall conquer death He lives my mansion to prepare He lives to bring me safely there

Verse 3

He lives all glory to His name He lives my Savior still the same

What joy this blest assurance gives I know that my Redeemer lives
